circuit drills for the sleep deprived

it's 11:24pm and i just got home.

the day started at 4:40am, and i'm figuring out how late i can sleep in and get to the track on time. it's still challenging, but either anxiety or commitment makes me wake up with 4 hours of sleep.

today and for the next 3 weeks we are doing circuit drills. this should strengthen me and help with my endurance. this was my morning workout: run 1/4 mile. 10 squats. 10 push ups. 10 crunches. 10 squats. run 1/4 mile. 10 supermans. 10 push ups. 10 one legged squats (left). 10 one legged squats (right). run 1/4 mile. 10 squats. 10 push ups. 10 crunches. 10 squats. run 1/4 mile. 10 supermans. 10 push ups. 10 one legged squats (left). 10 one legged squats (right).
1/4 mile cool down walk. it's not about my speed, but building endurance and practice breathing properly and evenly... at least this time. i probably should have pushed alittle harder and squeezed one more circuit in before 6:50am. instead i was done by 6:42am

i felt good after... went home, showered and at work by 8:45am.... (note: i still haven't figured out when to work in the coffee). what i was worried about for today was that i teach at 7:30pm and i may not have the energy and stamina to power through. class was good... a bit manic and ADHD, but all in all a good workout with a few new things. if you were in class, THANK YOU for bearing with me. it will get better once i learn how to sleep before midnight!

i met the brother for sisig nachos and beer. i haven't spoken with or had time to hang out since training started, so we made plans. i deserved it today. the only problem is that my 1 beer = 5 bathroom trips. maybe i should've had a glass of wine instead.

overall i still feed good, though i can't sleep! we'll see how i'm feeling tomorrow.
